In an article entitled ‘Comparison sites are not just for car cover’, the Money section of today’s Sunday Times has recommended The Tutor Pages as a top ‘alternative’ comparison website. Since The Sunday Times is now behind a paywall, here’s what they had to say:
You can find a tutor in a wide variety of disciplines at thetutorpages.com. The site, which is free, allows users to compare tutors in a particular postcode based on hourly rate, teaching experience and availability. It also provides lists of online tutors and suggested reading material, with prices from £20 an hour to £35 an hour for A-level French tuition.
It’s not a bad summary, and I like the fact that the author, James Charles, has emphasized that parents and students need to compare a variety of factors (not just price) when making a decision on which tutor to contact.
